I propose to take Questions Nos. 129 and 131 together.

Sport Ireland provides various training programmes in relation to mental health and wellbeing to sporting bodies. I have referred the Deputy's Question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to these training activities. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.

Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes. 

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to its role in the matter mentioned by the Deputy. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
